Best plumbing company ever. These guy's are so friendly and helpful. Great work and Top notch equipment. I would highly recommend these guy's. Came on time kept me posted all through the process. I Will definitely call them again for any plumbing or electrical work. Thank you guy's Great job 👍 Once again Jetset Plumbing came this time to fix some of our broken stormwater pipes. So very helpful and friendly. Extra polite. Brilliant job Can't thank your team enough. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY THEY ARE THE BEST Great job once again and thank you so much for all of your wonderful work
Update: Review 2- Thanks again Jetset for sending Alex and Kyle to another site for work on my homes plumbing. Job at hand was to address tree roots ingress in the plumbing piping. The guys were fantastic, arrived on time, went about fixing the issue and doing a plumbing reline and also provided a 25 year warranty on the work performed, with annual inspections. Also replaced European shower head/hose in the main bathroom which was damaged and leaking water with a 10 year warranty on that part. Top team and highly recommended. Keep up the professional and great work. Thanks again from a happy repeat customer :) Review 1 - Thanks Jetset for sending Matt to check on other companies plumbing leak detection work at my unit. Arrived as planned and was professional and provided excellent work that that needed to get done. Great, professional work as always. Thanks.
I found that Zane Harris was friendly, polite and professional (and genuinely seemed to enjoy his job). He showed me images of the problem, and took the time to thoroughly discuss solutions. He did a great job and left my property neat and tidy. Alex was the second plumber who did the work. He was equally polite and hard-working.
Excellent team! From quote booking to completion, team were on time, efficient.explaining each step, showed camera findings , Great service all round! Admin team very friendly and helpful with booking and payment too. Team replaced pipes in one section and put a sleeve liner in another section under driveway. The tree roots were huge!! Pipes were crushed under pavers and down 2metres+, team dug and put back pavers, cementing in new inspection point, levelling, cutting pavers and sanding pavers after complete, going above other quotes. Here from dawn to dusk (it was a big job), Warranty a big plus too. Recommended. In line with other quotes that didn’t offer warranty or to put back pavers, saving need for a paver. Worth $ for quality and guaranteed workmanship. Side note and lesson learnt when buying an older property pay for pipe inspection!!
A huge thank you to the Boys for coming and doing a couple of Re-lign jobs over a few days for us and dealing with our tricky pipes. Everybody went the extra mile to answer all our questions, showing us how it all works and providing pictures for us to visually see the problem both before and after the fix. A huge bonus to the whole team that came out and went above and beyond to explain everything to my homeschooler, who was asking hundreds of questions. The team gained a jr apprentice that day as they took her around and showed her the different tools and their uses. She was ecstatic to help them to load and unload the vans and learned a lot, by the end she knew everyone's name better than I did. The service we received was excellent and professional and we will definitely be using Jetset again! Thanks to the whole team!
I have used Jetset Plumbing for many years and have always been impressed with the courtesy of the employees. Recently Matt and Rhys came to my house to photograph the drains and then Rhys came back to replace the rain water pump. Both jobs were carried out efficiently and without rushing. I am very happy with the work as always.
Jetset Plumbing, and Rylee, are fantastic. We had problems with a toilet gurgling and slow drain rates last year. Phoned Jetset Plumbing and Rylee came out. He had to install a new access point, and then identified that the pipe had bowed and that was causing the issues. A quick quote (which was competitive) and Rylee came back out with a team of people to dig up and replace that section of pipe. That was a year ago, and as part of the service Jetset Plumbing have just last month sent someone out free of charge for an annual inspection to make sure the pipe is still good. We've been through a few trades since buying our company (where we've just had people not show up, or just not respond when we try to get them to come do additional jobs later). We've used both Jetset Plumbing and now Jetset Electrical and both teams are fantastic and reliable.
Thanks Jetset plumbing, top job! Jem did a fantastic job installing a new stormwater connection and repairing my mains water line. Thanks very much to Jake for sorting everything for me!
Nice work Jetset Plumbing! Very friendly and professional staff. Did a great job to unblock the drain and then offered some handy tips on drain covers and maintaining our hot water system. Highly recommend them to anyone. Also, they followed up with a nice handwritten letter and a gift. Great to see! Keep up the good work.
Thanks to Jem for fixing the block drain in my kitchen with water overflowing. He did the job very professionally, skilful and tidy. He also helped me to check and provided quotes for other plumbing issues in my house. Rhys came to my house another day to replace the kitchen sink mixer tap, bathroom basin and BTS in the backyard. Thanks to Rhys for his amazing job and polite service. The house looks very nice and my wife is very happy with these jobs. I would recommend these guys!
We are so glad we used Jetset Plumbing to deal with our blocked and damaged sewerage pipes. Their workers arrived on time, were polite, courteous, and knowledgeable. I received a clear and concise explanation of the process, timing and technology. Jetset will now be my regular plumber and electrician.
Matt came out to unblock a drain, most of it went well, then we hit a snag but Matt kept calm, sorted out the problem, great result in the end. Went over and above, I would highly recommend this company...

Pipe Relining

("No Dig Repair")

Pipe Relining

Pipe relining (aka "pipe inversion") is an effective way to fix broken and damaged pipes - without the need for digging up your yard.

Relining drains and sewer pipes involves inserting a pipe liner into the existing drain pipe. The liner then becomes permanently fixed to the surrounding pipe, essentially replacing the pipe from within.

It's 4 times stronger than the original pipe!

Get Your Blocked Drain Cleared Now!

Your drains will flow as good as new.

To clear a blocked sewer or stormwater drain we use the latest technology drain clearing device - the 5000 psi High Pressure Water Jetter.

We will clear your drain, flush out your entire line and have your pipes flowing as good as new! It's just like a high pressure car wash for your sewer or stormwater pipes.

The High Pressure Water Jetter can cut through tree roots, debris and waste build up. (Plus it's more aggressive on blockages and much gentler on your pipes than the old "drain snake" and "electric eel" methods.)

It's also a drain cleaning machine as it thoroughly cleans the pipes to help prevent further build up.

Drain Cleaning

Latest drain cleaning technology

High Pressure Jetters are an extremely effective and efficient way to clear both your sewer and stormwater drains. It's great for clearing out all greasy blockages and removing any tree roots.

Jetset Plumbing's High Pressure Water Jetters can run at a pressure of 5000 psi.


High Pressure Water Jetters

High pressure water blasts out of the end of a small nozzle attached to the hose. The hose is placed into the drain and self-propels itself through the pipe blasting through any obstacles, such as tree roots, grease, moss, dirt that are in its path.

The high pressure jetters aren't just a blockage remover - they are a drain clearing and drain cleaning machine!

One advantage of the high pressure jetting machine is it can reach blockages that are further along the pipes than what a conventional electric eel drain machine or drain snake can reach. We also tend to use our high pressure jetting machines for kitchen sinks as they are always filled with grease. The machine easily cuts through the grease and fats to allow the pipe to flow freely again.

The high pressure jetting machine is very efficient for cleaning drains and sinks in commercial properties as well where thick build up can occur.

Blocked stormwater drain

Stormwater Drains

We'll clear your blocked stormwater drains for you the same day

If you have a blocked stormwater drain we can use a high pressure water jetter. This is the best drain cleaner in this situation as it uses high pressure water and will remove any stubborn blockage along with any dirt, leaves or sludge from the stormwater pipes.

Conventional electric eel drain machines or drain snakes are older style machines and not good enough when it comes to clearing those stubborn blockages and can actually damage your pipes. All our water jetters are trailer mounted.


Plumber clearing a blocked drain with a high pressure water jetter

If you have a blocked stormwater drain we can save you time and money by using the high-pressure water jetting. The blocked drain clearing experts here at Jetset Plumbing find the easiest method for cleaning blocked stormwater drains and blocked sewer drains is to use the high pressure drain clearing machine.

Using highly pressurised water, at a rate of 5000 psi, it can easily cut through a heavy drain blockage that we might find, and is especially effective on those slimy, sludgy build-ups and tree root infiltrations most commonly found in some drains.

The jetter is better at drain cleaning than the older methods such as the drain snake or electric eel. The drain snake or electric eel aren't drain cleaning machines.

Blocked Drains from Tree Roots

Are tree roots blocking your pipes or drain?

Using CCTV Drain Cameras we will find out exactly what is causing your sewer drains to block up. Our inspections identify and locate serious drain problems like tree roots. Tree roots in your drains can cause debris to build up and crack or collapse your pipes which could end up costing you thousands of dollars in repairs in the long run.

How do tree roots block drains? When it first starts, the root is often just big enough to block toilet paper, kitchen grease and other debris. Then as more waste builds up, it eventually clogs the whole drain.


Tree Roots in Your Drains? Here's Why and What You Need to Know! video

So what if roots have damaged your pipes? There are a few potential options your plumber can talk to you about.

Your plumber can replace your clay pipes with new PVC pipes. New PVC pipes are better at stopping tree roots from penetrating them.

You may also be able to reline your existing sewer pipes in situ. This can save digging up your property and an economical alternative to replacing the pipes.


These 5 Trees WILL Destroy Your Drains! video

CCTV drain camera

CCTV Drain Camera

CCTV sewer drain camera technology

Jetset Plumbing have several Closed Circuit TV drain cameras (CCTVs) which can be placed down your drain or sewer pipe to see what is causing your blocked drains.

The drain camera will clearly identify any damages that may have occurred to the pipe from the blockage and determine why the drain has blocked up. This will allow your plumber to find and identify the exact location and problem of the blockage and then decide on the most effective clearing method.

Collapsed pipes, tree roots, misaligned pipes and foreign objects in the drain are all problems we can identify when we use the CCTV camera.

In some cases, drain problems can be ongoing and require further assistance, again, this is where one of our CCTV drain cameras can help.

Discover the 4 Disturbing Signs of a Broken Sewer Pipe!


What is a blocked sewer pipe?

A blocked drain in your sewer system usually results in wastewater, sewage etc overflowing somewhere on your property. This could be from your toilet lines, your shower drains or even your kitchen drain line. When your sewer line is blocked up, it is definitely a more urgent situation than most other blocked drain situations as you usually can't continue to use any of your internal plumbing fixtures.


What are the warning signs of a blocked toilet?

A blocked toilet can either appear out of nowhere, or it can slowly build up over time giving you continuous warning signs. When you flush your toilet, if the water rises up to the top of the bowl that is a sure sign to tell you there is a blockage somewhere that is struggling to move through your drain. You may also hear gurgling noises coming from the bowl when other fixtures are being used.


What are blocked stormwater drains?

When we experience rain, our drains are designed to handle the flow of water from around your roof and also around your house. If you have ever noticed overflowing water from your gutters and downpipes, or even flooding around the outside of your home, you may have a serious blocked stormwater drain.


Blocked sinks

Whether you have a blocked kitchen sink or a blocked bathroom sink, there are multiple reasons why you are left with a pool of water in the bottom. Either there is a build up of hair and gunk, or it could be more severe such as a build up of grease and fats. You want to ensure your entire drain is free of any obstruction once the sink is flowing freely.


Blocked shower drains

Blocked shower drains may be caused by a simple hair and soap scum blockage, or it could be a more serious issue within the pipes under your bathroom floor. Whatever the cause of the issue, you need your local plumber to inspect your pipes to ensure there are no serious blockages.

FAQs: Blocked Drains

Clearing a blocked drain involves several steps to ensure thorough removal of the obstruction. Our process typically begins with an assessment of the blockage's nature and location using specialised equipment such as camera inspection to identify and address any underlying issues within the pipe. We then employ methods such as high pressure jetting to dislodge and flush away the debris. Our experienced plumbers tailor the approach based on the severity and type of blockage, ensuring a successful clearing while minimising potential damage to your plumbing system. We may also employ a technique known as pipe relining.
Outside drains can become blocked due to a variety of factors. Leaves, twigs, and debris carried by wind or rainwater can accumulate and obstruct the drainage path. Additionally, soil, mud, and silt can get washed into drains during heavy rainfall, gradually causing blockages. Roots from nearby trees and plants might infiltrate the drain pipes, leading to clogs. Poorly maintained or damaged drain covers can also allow larger items to enter and block the drain. Regular cleaning, proper landscaping, and preventive measures are recommended to minimise the risk of outside drain blockages. If you encounter persistent blockages, our experts can help identify the underlying causes and provide effective solutions.
Unclogging a toilet involves a series of steps to address various potential causes of blockage. Initially, we assess whether the blockage is localised within the toilet's trap or if it extends further down the drainpipe. We often start to dislodge minor obstructions in the toilet trap. If the clog persists, it could be indicative of a deeper issue in the drain line. In such cases, specialised tools like high pressure jetting might be used to reach and remove the obstruction. While the toilet is a common point of blockage, issues within the main drain line can also contribute to recurring clogs. Our skilled plumbers can determine the root cause and employ the appropriate methods to ensure effective unclogging and prevent future blockages.
The cost of clearing a blocked drain can vary greatly. It all depends on the nature of each job, the severity of the blockage, how complex removal is and how long the plumber will be required to stay at the job. The cheapest removal of a blockage is a basic blocked toilet as these can be removed quite quickly. However, most blockages require specialised equipment such as a CCTV drain camera or a high pressure jetter.
There are a number of things that could cause a blocked drain. It could be from a build-up of gunk to foreign things being caught in the drain. We find generally the main causes of a blocked drain are build up of grease and fats, leaves (stormwater drains) and hair.
1. The drain takes too long to drain. 2. The drain is overflowing. 3. The drain starts to smell. 4. The drain makes strange noises.
To clear a blocked drain pour some hot water down your clogged drain. It will also help to mix equal parts baking soda and vinegar with the hot water. Cover the drain with a plug and let it sit for 30 minutes. Follow it up with more hot water to flush it out. Don't use boiling hot water as too hot a water may warp your PVC pipes.
To unblock a kitchen or bathroom sink, run hot water down the drain to soften the clog. Put some washing-up liquid down the drain and then run more hot water. If this doesn't work, try using a suitable chemical drain cleaner.
